Common Pleas Judge Ake and a jury
In bis courtroom were surprised late
Monday afternoon wben James Spencer suddenly announced, ln the middle
of his trial for shooting to kill Tbomas Early, that he wanted to plead
guilty. He made this announcement
after the state had called two witnesses who attacked Spencer's defense which was an attempt to prove
an alibi.
Judge Ake deferred his sentence un
UI later. Spencer asserts that he is
young enough to be sent to the Mansfield reformatory instead of to the
penitentiary. He admitted concealing
himself ln the barn of Mr. Early near
Alliance and shooting him late at
night.

The regular session of the Alliance
City Council, Monday evening, was a
short one and no legislation was passed, but lt the suggestions made are
carried out, the results should pVove
beneficial to the city. President Barnard and all members, Messrs. Binkley,
Cox. Orubb, Lower, Merts, Miller and
Penlck, were present at roll.
By moUon, council confirmed the
appointment of J. E. Benson as a member of the Board of Health and Eli T.
Shreve as dairy inspector, these
names being presented by the City
Board of Health in communications to
Council.
Member Binkley Resigns.
J. H. Binkley presented his resigns^
tion eas a member at large ot the City
Council, this action being taken as
he contemplates leaving the city at
an early date. Action upon the resignation was deterred.
A communication from the Board of
Health suggesting several changes in
tbe ordlnanoe regulating the collecting and disposition of garbage was
read. Ttae subject was referred to a
committee consisting of Members
Orubb, Binkley and Lower. Later ln
tbe session W. B. Hassett of the
Board of Health, addressed .council
stating that a Pittsburgh firm was desirous of bidding for the contract of
handling the city's garbage. As it
will require sixty days to Install such
a plant as the company will erect If
lt-secures the contract, it was urged
that council act promptly ln regard to
the proposed changes ln tbe garbage
ordinance. It was stated that the city
officials proposed to require tbe successful bidder to remove free the
garbage from the city buildings and
Institutions. After some discussion it
was decided that the special committee of council should meet with the
Board of Health members Thursday
evening at 7 o'clock to discuss the
subject and If possible reach a conclusion as to the changes to be made ln
the garbage ordinance.
The finance committee recommended the passage of an Ordinance to fix
the salary of the street commissioner
at $95 per month. The measure was
given a second reading.
Barnard  Favors  Snow Cleaning.
President Barnard suggested that it
was time to consider what sidewalks
are. to be laid in the city this year
and to get busy on the required legislation. He also thought the city should
have an ordinance requiring the cleaning of snow ahd Ice from the sidewalks.
Mr. Lower said he thought lt was
tbe duty of council to take up the
question of revising the ordinances of
the elty. Thought the city had many
ordinances that are useless and obsolete and others that are void. He believed lt would be to the best Interests of the city to bave the ordinances
revised and the worthless ones stricken out. Attention was called to the
traffic ordinance which haa been revised several times, but wbich is b<e-
ing continually violated. Mr. Penlck
thought that if council passes such ordinances that it is up to tbe executive
department of the city to mo that the
regulations are enforced. He said he
did not believe in continually changing the regulations.
At 8:12 o'clock councU adjourned.

The city board of -education was
called to order Monday night at 7:30
with members Oarman, Davidson and
Miss Harzell to answer roll call. Member Thompson came a little tardy and
Dr. L. A. Crawford at 9 p. m.. The
mlnud'S were read and with slight correction, were approved. Under the
call for communications but one was
read and that provoked a discussion
as to whether tbe school fund or
funds from the city treasury should
be used to pay for sewage (or school
lots-
Care of the Blind
Immediately after the call for communications had ended Superintendent Stanton announced we had present three persons representing the
state blind commission and he asked
that these be given a hearing. He
then Introduced Mr. Irwin, Miss August ahd Miss Larrlmer to the board.
Miss Larrlmer was flrst called upon
and responded. She stated the blind
commission for the state was organized n 1912 and grew out of an organization of a private character founded
ln 1908. Since the state commission
wae formed lt was decided that a proper place to work was in the schools
of the state and devote attention to
pupils with defective vision bad been
formed ln schools of many cities and
for that purpose they had come to Alliance and made a hasty examination
of the schools to find there were those
ln Alliance that needed careful protection ana treatment to preserve vision.
The next speaker was Mr. Irwin, a
Mind man, and superintendent of the
schools or classes in detective vision
in Cleveland wbo told of tbe work in
the special classes. He stated that
state funds to the amount of $200 for
a school year, for each pupil ln such
classes, had been provided for by the
state and explained such classes. He
outlined the course pursued ln those
classes. How an effort was mado to
prevent the straining of eyes. Miss
Mary Taylor the school nurse, was
present and was asked how many children she had found with defective vision of the city schools of Buch an extent as to be very serious and she stat
ed from 6 to 10. Three of• these had
been forbidden by physicians to attend school. By the law of the stat-e
a class cannot consist of less than 3
nor should It be of more than 10. Mr.
Irwin discussed tbe stages of blindness as recognized by the law and the
blind commission and these varied
from the totally blind to those able
to read headUn.es In a newspaper but
not the common print.  #
The story of the blind was a sad
but Instructive one and many questions were asked for Mr. Irwin to answer which he did satisfactorily snd
much interest was shown In the subject by the board. At the conclusion
of the talk the matter of organizing a
class for those of defective vision was
referred by ffioUon to the board as a
committee to consider and take definite acUon upon In the near future.
The school nurse Miss Taylor, and
Miss Mabel Hartsell a member ot the
board were appointed to go to Cleveland Wednesday and inspect tbe work
ot the blind In classes in that city snd
also thc work of the open air school.

Five Thousand Excited Men and Women Fill City Hall
Park—"Sweet Marie" Ganz, After Being Deceived
by Police Ruse, Re-addresses Crowd and Stirs Them
to Further Rioting Until Police Arrest Her — East
Side Tenement Dwellers—Wild Scenes as Women
Shriek and Babies Cry.
International News Sen lee.
New Yofk, N. Y.. Feb. 20—Ont of
the Ghetto and the East Side tenements there swarmed today bundreads
of women screaming "we are starved
—we want bread." They swooped
down upon the city hall, where rioting and scenes of disorder followed.
Thousands of women of the ten*,
ment district fell Into the line, led by1
"Sweet Marie" Ganz. In a long line
they came, old women, hobbling and
stumbling, shawl-wrapped heads and
young mothers holding aloft pale and
wan babes. Their screams rent the
air as traffic officers attempted to
break up the parade.of protest.
Thetr numbers had dwindled by the
time they reached the city hall and
began loud cries of hunger. Plaintive
walls from crying babes and the
shrieks of enraged women—like an
echo of the peasant revolutions of
Europe—all added to the intense excitement. Demands for Mayor Mitchel
failed to bring out the chief executive,
but instead thsre came mounted po-
llcejnen. '-j-',*1* '.'
Within a few minutes after the vanguard- arrived and assailed the doors
of city hall, more than five thousand
•excited men ahd women filled city
hall park and a second call for reserve police went in. Down Park Row
tbere came hundreds of eager spectators lured on by the first riot scenes
New Tork has seen for many a day.
Business men from the financial district and shops nearby added to the
throng which jammed ln upon the city
hall. Then there came the long line
of stragglers.
A line of police was formed from
the city ball and stormed by the
screeching women, many of them holding babies aloft and crying out: "You
see them—they are starving. We want
bread."
Orders went out from police headquarters for tbe dispersal of the mob
and traffic officers along the line of
march drove tbe women still on tbe
way back to the tenement houses.
Lieutenant William Kennell, the
mayor's aide, finally appeared at the
doors of the city hall.
The sight of the uniformed side was
the signal for a new outburst from tbo
mob. Finally lt quieted sufficiently
for Kennell to announce that tbe mayor would receive a delegation of the
women. There were Immediately cries
of "Marie, Marie, Sweet Marie."
A little woman made her way up
the city hall steps and there were
loud cheers for "Marie"—"Sweet Ma
rie" Ganz was the first delegate to the
mayor. She chose for he associates
Mrs. Ida Harris, president of the
Mother Vigilance League of the East
Bide; Mrs. Tlllie J. Plosky and Mrs.
Annie Walker, both leaders in the tenement districts.
"Sweet Marie" Is Dupsd.
Once In the corridors ot the city
hall the delegation found they had
been deceived. Mayor Mitchel was
not in his office and it was announced
he might not be in all day.
Rushing out to the city hall steps
Marie Ganz told the crowd they had
been betrayed and haranguing her fol*
lowers, she succeeded In starting
anew the screeching and yelling. Suddenly she wus seized from behind by
four husky policemen and dragged Into the building where sho was detain*
ed and tben arrested for disorderly;
conduct.
Robbed of Its leaders once more tbd
roar of thousands of voices went np
and Uttie Benjamin Bernstein, 16, thia
and scrawny, arose on the steps and
addressed the crowd:
Lad Makes Pathetic Appeal.
"I am starving," cried the lad as
tears swept down his pale face. "I've
got a sister and a mother and a fatb*
er and we all live on $3 a week." Thea
the boy was swept Into the malestront
and his plaintive cries ot protest were
drowned by the moans and shrieks of
the rioters as mounted police madq
their way through the mob attempting to break It up.
After more than an hour and a hall
ot disorder and demonstration, police
finally succeeded In scattering ths
crowd In all directions and shrieking
oaths and muttering threats the huh-
dreds of women made they way bach
to the Ghetto and the East Side, not
ln an organized 'body but ln llttld
groups, scatters dby the. police.
Today's demonstration was an aften
math of the food rioting yesterday iq
Hester and Rivlngton streets and th«
Williamsburg and Brownsville dl*
trfcts. Incensed at the high prices
charged by hucksters yesterday after.
noon hundreds of the tenement hous-j
women stormed push carta and street
stands and wrecked them, scattering
the produce ln the streets.
Throngs of frantic women assailed
the police and attempted to rescue
their leader, "8weet Marie" GanS
When she was being taken from ths
city hail in a police patrol. Several
times the women charged the officers
and patrolmen were seratr-hed and
clothing torn In the melon. The women were finally driven off and Marls
was taken to the Elizabeth street po.
